Chicken Salads

Search yard sales, thrift stores, and antique shops for vintage cookbooks that have chicken salad recipes. That's one of my hobbies - collecting vintage cookbooks, especially if they have a chicken salad recipe. My mother could make the best chicken salad. "Chop the apples and onions real fine," she'd say. Funny thing is my aunt, Mother's older sister, always liked her chicken salad with chunky onions and apples. It's all good however the apples and onions are cut. One of the most refreshing lunches is a chicken salad sandwich.

I'm including a few chicken salad recipes from my vintage cookbooks for this salad summer mission. It took me awhile to get going on this mission in case you didn't notice a gap in my posts. My daughter is getting married this month, so life has been busy for us lately.
